Vit D is recommended to supplement from October to early March, and B12 is a must for vegans. Those two are recommended by doctors, but I wonder if you guys do more.

I take vitamin D, :b12:, and iron daily. I make sure I get enough Vit C as well. What do y'all do regarding supplements?

Also, anyone have experience with the supps from vegansociety?

    I take a once-a-day vitamin, which tbh I'm not even sure I need, so I probably only take it like 3 times a week. But I feel like it's a better-safe-than-sorry thing.

    Pretty sure I get enough b12 from nooch. Put that shit in most savory dishes I cook.

    I drink a pea-protein shake 5 days a week, another thing I probably don't need, but I like not having to worry about protein otherwise. Definitely get enough protein without it many days, but sometimes I'll be out of tofu or beans or w/e, and I can just eat leaf and bread without worrying about that protein.

    I do try to put flax seeds in a lot of dishes; since I'm allergic to nuts, I try to get omega acids where I can. Not really sold on it being a necessity, but it seems like it can't hurt, and flax tastes good.

    Vitamin D is really the only thing I feel confident saying I'd definitely be short on without supplementing. Even then, I spend a decent amount of time outside, but especially in the winter, sunlight is scarce where I am.
